Character & Leadership

PostJuly 21, 2016

At OPPA we believe that complete education includes the
development of intellectual competence as well as the nurturing
of fine character. Our emphasis on both academics as well as
character education prepares scholars to become informed,
concerned citizens who are successful in work and in life Oak
Park Prep students do not just develop as intellectuals, but also
as responsible citizens. By adopting and practicing Oak Park
Prep’s PREP values (Prepared, Respectful, Engaged, Professional),
we prepare our scholars to become leaders and give back to their
families and their communities. The goal is for Oak Park Prep
scholars to not merely do “well,” but also to do “good.” We have
the privilege of educating the future leaders of our community
and instilling in them the beliefs and traits that make good
citizens and good people. Through clear rules and constant
positive reinforcement, all Oak Park Prep scholars learn to take
responsibility for themselves, their school, and their
community.
